Well.. I agree that the other players are performing really well. But the point is that Al Hilal spent a huge amount of money on Neymar and he is going to miss the initial phase of this season of the Saudi Professional League. They may or may not perform well without Neymar, but the management is not going to be very happy with the situation. But then, we can't predict the injury scenarios. It can happen to anyone, given the increased workload athletes have to deal with these days. On top of that, Neymar is no longer young. He is already 31 years of age.

Al Hilal are well aware that Neymar was injured before they decided to sign him. They should be aware that they were not buying a perfect player after Man City, Chelsea, Bayern, and Real Madrid, deliberately turned down the opportunity to sign him. The striker should enjoy his fat pay and the club should build on the reputation and experience Neymar will bring to the team.

In the long term, Neymar is a big hope for Al Hilal to be able to dominate all Saudi football competitions, but in the near future, Al Hilal cannot hope too much for Neymar, who is in a bad condition due to injury.
Al Hilal dared to decide to buy Neymar from PSG with the aim of strengthening the team in the longer term.
Hopefully Neymar can get well soon and can give him what Al Hilal wants.

Staying out of play for one month is not a big deal. The season is still long and Al Halal should hope that he doesn't have any more injuries. The club should not rely on the Brazilian striker because he is not getting any younger so his performance will keep depreciating. I guess the club didn't buy Neymar for just his on-the-pitch performance but for commercial and advertisement purposes. He was bought at least to attract more fans and investors to the Saudi League.
